No upgrades just yet. It already had what I was going to do, with stage 1 and V&H Pipes. Will just do the fluids so I know they are done right.

Probably research customizing the seat as I am a bit on the short side and would like a little flatter footed stand over. I am just about flat footed with the SG seat installed but still not quite.

Again, thanks to all! Great forum!!!!

Let the fun begin! HA!!!

Yeah, I just got a 2009 FLSTC but it has a whopping 9450 miles on it. Good luck with your seat swap. I can't remember the name but someone will add it but anyway there's a place that is supposed to be the cat's meow for seat customizing.

Well, the best bike you could get would be mine, but you can't have it. So good luck and don't spend the rest of your life second guessing yourself.

You made the right decision. Looks almost exactly like mine. Mine doesnt have the pinstripe on the fender and fairing and doesnt have the rails around the saddlebags. Same tank though.
